2022 Benoit Ente, Puligny-Montrachet 1Cru Les Folatieres En La Richarde

Benoît Ente is known for crafting Puligny-Montrachet with exceptional precision, and this 2022 Premier Cru Les Folatières En La Richarde is a striking example of that style. Built on tension, purity, and energy, it highlights the elegant side of Chardonnay while delivering real depth and mineral drive.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine shows a bright, luminous pale gold hue. The nose is intensely expressive, with white flowers, fresh white peach, and subtle citrus lifting from the glass, all underscored by a fine chalky, saline note. On the palate, it is razor-sharp and electric, combining concentration with a sleek, finely etched texture. The finish is long and mouthwatering, driven by a persistent saline minerality that gives the wine both precision and length. This is a wine with excellent aging potential, likely to gain even more complexity and nuance over time.

Production
Sourced from Premier Cru Les Folatières in Puligny-Montrachet, a site prized for its stony soils and ability to produce wines of remarkable finesse and tension. The vineyard’s cool, well-drained terroir helps preserve freshness and shape the wine’s crystalline profile. Vinification is focused on preserving purity and detail, allowing the character of the site and vintage to remain front and center.

Food & Serving
This wine is a natural match for refined dishes such as lobster, scallops, roast turbot, or poultry in a light cream sauce. It also pairs beautifully with sushi, fine goat’s cheese, or simply grilled fish with a touch of lemon and herbs. Serve chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and a light decant can help open the aromatics if enjoyed young.
